Last year occurred the first art exhibit in
Minneapolis. For this art exhibit Minneapolis
built fre-proof building containing fourteen
galleries The exhibit consisted of collection
of paintings and sculptures valued at $519, 335.
More than $50, 600 worth of pictures were sold.
Minneapolis bought for its permanent ar. gal
lery $35 600 worth OF paintings, by such men as
Bierstadt, Hart, and the Morans. One hundred

that Minneapolis has many very rich citizens.
No greater foolishness exists than the notion
that rich citizens lrjure the community. The
more we can have Of them the better.
